Fire rated glass(which is often referred to as fire-resistant glass,fire protection glass,anti fire glass or fireproof glass) is a specialized glazing product designed to act as a barrier against fire, smoke, and heat transfer for a specified period, helping to contain a fire and allow safe evacuation.
The numbers (e.g., 60, 120, 180) indicate the duration in minutes for which the glass maintains its integrity and insulation properties under fire conditions, as tested according to relevant standards.
Yes, by enhancing life safety, improving energy efficiency (if combined with insulated glazing units), and potentially using recycled content, fire rated glass can contribute to green building certifications.
